Biden welcomes Kishida to Washington as U.S., Japan navigate rare spat

Speaking after a meeting of NATO foreign ministers on Tuesday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that while China is not an adversary of NATO, the military alliance must be “clear-eyed about the impact of China’s coercive policies on our security.

Ambassador Rahm Emanuel, Biden’s envoy to Tokyo, sought Monday to downplay the impact of Biden’s opposition to the U.S. Steel acquisition to the relationship. Emanuel noted that in February the Biden administration approved a plan that would drive billions of dollars in revenue to a U.S.-based subsidiary of the Japanese company Mitsui for crane production in the United States.

The administration has been pleased by Japan’s strong support for Ukraine. Tokyo has been one of the largest donors to Kyiv since Russia’s February 2022 invasion, and Japan has surged its defense spending amid concern about China’s military assertiveness.Deportation hearing set for truck driver in deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash

Kishida will stick around Washington on Thursday to take part in a meeting with Biden and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Philippine-Chinese relations have been repeatedly tested by skirmishes between the two nations’ coast guard vessels in the disputed South China Sea.
